Weekends in Dundee

Join us as we explore Willamette Valley Wine Country one weekend at a time!

The Bitter Monk

by

My good friend Julie was in town a few weeks back, and one afternoon we decided to do some window shopping in downtown McMinnville. If you haven’t been, it’s a must see! Seriously, McMinnville has one of the cutest main streets in America!

Julie is a huge fan of beer! She’s well on her way to getting a plaque on the wall at T.Mac in Atlanta. For those of you who don’t know, T.Mac has a loyalty program called Brewniversity dedicated to the exploration and enjoyment of delicious, unique and rare craft beers. Once you try 125 of their beers you get a plaque on the wall, and Julie is about 15 beers away from becoming LEGENDARY!

So when we happened upon the The Bitter Monk Bottle Shop & Tap Room in downtown McMinnville our only choice was to try it out!

Look at our Garden Grow

by

Since our my last garden update, things have certainly grown! All of our lettuce has really taken off, and to be honest we’ve had a hard time keeping up with it all.

We’ve had dinner salads, kale chips, and kale smoothie, and per The Renaissance Man, “way too many kale smoothies!”

Cluck! Cluck! Watching the Chickens

by

Living in a small town certainly has its benefits. Unlike living in the City where neighbors seem to pass each other like ships in the night, in a small town you get to know your neighbors. We actually know almost every single one of our neighbors, which in my opinion, is pretty darn impressive!

So when we learned that one of our neighbors was heading out of town and needed someone to watch their chickens, we were more than happy to help out.
